RC Frame Systems Engage Flashcards
A structural system without a complete vertical load-carrying space frame
Bearing Wall System
provide support for all or most gravity loads
Bearing walls or bracing systems
Resistance to lateral loads is provided by
shear walls or braced frames
Special RC shear wall has a ___m height limitation on zone 4
20
True or False
Ordinary RC shear wall is not allowed in zone 4
True
Two methods of constructing houses
Load Bearing Structure & RCC Framed Structure
RCC Framed Structure also known as
Column-Beam Structure
Load Bearing Structure also known as
Wall Bearing Structure
Load transfer:
slab to beams to columns to foundation
RCC Framed Structure
Load transfer:
walls to foundation only
Load Bearing Structure
Usage:
Mostly used form of construction
RCC Framed Structure
Usage:
Rarely used form of construction
Load Bearing Structure
Construction:
Simple
RCC Framed Structure
Construction:
Cumbersome
Load Bearing Structure
Wall construction:
Walls are constructed after the frame is ready
RCC Framed Structure
Wall construction:
Columns and Beams are not there
Load Bearing Structure
thickness of wall:
Remains same with increase in height
RCC Framed Structure
thickness of wall:
Increases with increase in height
Load Bearing Structure
Length of wall:
No limitation on length of wall at a stretch
RCC Framed Structure
Length of wall:
Limitation to construct long walls at a stretch
Load Bearing Structure
Flexibility in Planning and Design:
Position of walls can be changed whenever necessary
Greater Flexibility in Planning and Design
RCC Framed Structure
